Repair ideas non-metallic conduit?

[drmarkr]

Ideas? Non-metallic conduit has cracked and I need to repair/wrap it. What have your solutions been?

It's carflex or similar. Id just replace it if it's a short piece

It's garbage. Touch it somewhere else, and it will break there too.

I didn't dig it out to see how long it is. Now that you mention it I probably should dig it out and just replace it because it is ancient and in terrible shape.

Yep, that Arizona sun has done it's job on that. Best to replace it and maybe the wire inside if the insulation is brittle or damaged.

That stuff looks like it is metallic to me. There is a metal coil under the outer coating.

You do not want to replace it with the 100% plastic stuff. It isn't as durable, and you will have to pull a ground wire.

Whether or not the grounding abilities of metallic liquid tight conduit are suitable for your job, I have no idea.

Repair is not a option, replace it.
